The Burden of Multiple Sclerosis in Mexico
The findings highlight substantial regional disparities in the MS burden across Mexico. Northern Mexico showed better-than-expected health outcomes while Central and Southern Mexico exhibited higher disease burdens than anticipated. These discrepancies suggest that socioeconomic factors and health care accessibility significantly affect MS outcomes. The study's limitations include reliance on hospital records and potential underdiagnosis in less developed regions. Enhanced data collection and comprehensive health care strategies are essential to effectively address the growing MS burden in Mexico.
